I sincerely believe that, my three years working experience in financial department, coupled with my education in finance and my strong desire for professional growth in my interested area, will enable me to successfully fulfil the Master of Science in Accounting program.

But to me it is more that, I find accounting exciting and a beneficial way to help those that are in financial crisis. I like the idea that I can provide assistance to try to one day bring those back to their feet that have been ruined with financial problems. When entering the field of accounting one must have the dedication to do the work and understand the fundamentals.

It was fascinating to see how there are so many variations to improve a company's financial status. To me, doing the assigned homework was the most enjoyable experience of accounting. Every day, I would spend a couple hours doing problems, even those that were not assigned, to learn and
